You have the option of composing your Web-Based Email message using plain text, meaning you cannot format the text, or, if you have Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, you can compose it in the Rich Text Editor so that you can format the text. The following procedure explains how to format text in the Rich Text Editor.
The Rich Text Editor buttons and lists display on the Rich Text tab (such as the Font list and Bold button). For information about changing your editor, see Changing Your Email Message Editor.
